Li Xiaofeng, better known as Sky, the two-time Warcraft III World Cyber Games champion (2005, 2006), just dropped some serious wisdom about gaming greatness – and it’s all about flow. 🌊 In a recent CGTN interview, the Chinese esports icon credited Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience with shaping his championship mindset.
"When you’re fully immersed, time disappears," Sky explained, comparing high-stakes esports battles to a dancer nailing a routine. 🕹️ His mantra? "Success isn’t chased – it finds you when you’re laser-focused on the game."
The flow state concept isn’t just for gamers – students cramming for exams or entrepreneurs pitching ideas could learn from Sky’s playbook. 🧠💡 By training his mind to filter distractions, he spotted critical in-game details that secured his back-to-back world titles.
